MFA Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 I kind of like double, since this is a pretty good 14. If you are getting in with a 4333, there isn't much difference between this and if the hand had ♦xxx/♣ATxx, which I'll bet everyone is doubling on. Its the 4333 12 counts that turn my stomach. Hmm, I find it a big difference, and I would certainly double with the minors reversed. Me too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benlessard Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 I dont make offshape double, or crappy overcall and we are sound in balancing seat and still we dont miss a lot of game. We are sometimes out of the bidding in partscore battles but the upside of lead directing & penalty doubles compensate for most of the missed games/partscore. Even if we give a hand strong enough where everybody agree that its strong enough to take action, people would be surprised of how small the equity difference is between passing vs bidding. Passing is a very underrated bid.Imo its a psychological glitch that biased people toward acting instead of not acting. That is why poker pro are able to make a living.
